 @marqle @mike Opt-in is the correct call, but it does limit what is searchable on #Mastodon. #Misskey is opt-in as well, but the culture there seems to embrace being searchable more so than Mastodon. A classic example was when there was some drama regarding #Firefish, a search on Mastodon revealed nothing. But when I searched on Misskey I was able to obtain context for what the drama was about (even though my Misskey network is ≈400 times smaller). 3 comments
 That's actually been my experience too. I tried the antennae too for a while but that made things even worse. It does teach you though - when Twitter pretended it was showing you the whole picture by assorting information according to its priorities - it was doing nothing of the sort. It's one of the most cherished myths of modern times - that social media gives us the whole picture - but it is just a myth. No one has time to see the whole picture. @darnell@one.darnell.one @marqle@mastodonapp.uk @mike@thecanadian.social |

@darnell @marqle #Misskey and #Firefish seem miles ahead with features. I run a Firefish instance and find the interface a bit busy for my liking. Almost like there's too much going on.
